Where's the Straight Flush?

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

There usually aren't too many notable hands during the first level of any tournaments, but we came across one that we thought may result in straight flush. It began when an early-position player opened for 225, a middle-position player called, and Team PokerStars Pro (Mexico) Angel Guillen came along for the ride from the small blind. The big blind joined the fray and it was four-handed to the {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. It was a pretty board, and even more so after all players checked and the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn.

With four suited, connected cards on the board, we waited anxiously to see if anyone woke up with the straight flush. The {J-Hearts} river was fairly uneventful, and all four players checked for a third time. With all that checking, we knew a straight flush was unlikely, but stuck around to see the winning hand nonetheless.

As it turned out, there were no diamonds in play and Guillen's {4-Hearts}{5-Clubs} took down the nearly 1,000 pot.
